That is Scully he's posted here for a long time but fighting Ward @168 was not something Scully wanted. He doesn't pick the fights.

Funny how I got killed for saying that many times here. COACHES DON'T MAKE THE FIGHTS, PROMOTERS DO.

There are instances where a fighter might want someone and get his wish but there's a reason that there are trainers, managers and promoters. Most kids on the internet don't understand the business of boxing.

That's why threads about so and so "ducking" a certain fighter is BS most of the time but hey, it is the internet and facts don't mean sh1t.

With all due respect to Skully, in my humble opinion I don't think Jesus Christ would have helped Dawson beat Ward. Ward is just on another level, I think he's the best lb for lb fighter in the world right now.
